LC-060 LOW PROFILE LOW VOLTAGE CONTROLLER
. 120-277 input voltage . For lighting fixture applications . Control for up to two loads
Low Voltage Controllers enable users to safely operate the high-voltage lighting found in hospital
and nursing home rooms with their pillow speaker or bed communication side rail. They’re tested and
approved for use with all Nurse Call systems that use a switch with normally-open momentary dry
contacts for auxiliaries.
. For use with fluorescent, LED, and other lamp types
. Can be used to operate high-voltage circuits such as lights,
electric doors, and drapes
. Can be controlled from a pillow speaker, bed side rail, or wall switch with normally-open
momentary dry contacts
. Controls two loads independently, or two loads sequentially
. Safe for use near medical equipment that is sensitive to electromagnetic noise

Product Design and Application
The LC-060 Low Voltage Controller is designed to mount inside a lighting
fixture. All connections should be made within the lighting fixture and
capped with wire nuts or equivalent. A qualified electrician should perform
the installation.

Wiring
The three wires on the low voltage side of the unit are designated as red,
blue, and brown. When wiring as a single momentary switch, sequential
controller, you must connect the red and blue wires together to one side
of the switch. The brown wire is the other side of the switch. This wiring
can be connected to a receptacle, or directly to a pillow speaker if it is
hard wired to the nurse call system (Figure 1). When wiring as a two switch
combination control, the brown wire is common for the two switches. Blue
is S1 and red is S2 (Figure 2).
On the other side of the control housing is the high voltage side, which has
three groups of wires.
One group is the AC voltage in. It consists of a black wire (hot), and a white
wire (neutral).

The third group of wires is for input voltage designation (a black wire with
red stripe and a white wire with red stripe).
For 120 volt applications: the black wire with red stripe gets wired to
the black (hot) wire and the white wire with red stripe gets wired to the
white (neutral) wire.
For 277 volt applications: the black wire with red stripe and the white
wire with red stripe get wired together and capped off.

The second group of wires is the AC voltage out to the load (lights). It
consists of a yellow wire (hot, load 1), a pink wire (hot, load 2), and a green
wire (earth ground). These connections go directly to the room lights, or
other devices being controlled, and earth ground.
